Just another contrarian-for-cash talking head. (Anti-vax, anti-lockdown, what climate crisis?, Russell Brand fan. The whole checklist). The pièce-de-résistance was that the Covid vaccine was bioengineered to be 'less harmful to some Jews'. Perfect fit for GB 'news'. :lol:

I only glanced over the thread and assumed it meant "Battery Electric Vehicle".

To be fair, as a 60ish year old man who likes camper vans, you are pretty much the exact stereotypical Jag owner they don't want to be associated with in the public eye ;)

First teaser images released.

Could be something interesting, hard to say.

Ha, perpetual motion, mention something controversial to the elderly and from that point onwards they wind themselves up.

I think that's the plan :D

Jaguar = old man's car = they struggle to sell.

Round here they aren’t an old man’s car. Lots of young mums have the SUVs and plenty of young blokes in the convertibles along the seafront in the summer. Clarkson gave the convertible a firm endorsement back in the day which helped them too and of course the Ben Kingsley and mark strong ad made them fashionable, but this advert has probably harmed them. It seems current Jaguar owners are as bitterly upset and as disappointed as labour voters! :lol:

I came very close to owning this last year, but was £2k apart on negotiations. TBH if they do go all woke I doubt I’d have been bothered enough by the changed image to sell it. Each summer I keep thinking bout getting one but I’m not sure I’d look good in full pastel clothing and my hair is too short for one of those styles. :D Thinkmill go for a convertible Porsche in GBNews colours for a bit of balance! :thumbup:

Thats the problem isn't it, an ageing erm demographic means a dying market.
You have to break from tradition to get younger people to buy Jags cos who the fuck under about sixty currently buys em? Piss them off and they'll provide any publicity required, looks like its working a treat.
